#86 of 105 Re: Electrical problem on 99 blazer [thard88] by repairdog Apr 14, 2007 (4:31 pm)
Replying to: thard88 (Apr 14, 2007 4:50 am) May not all be related. The sender is part of a one piece fuel pump assembly for about $400. plus install and have to drop then tank - very common Blazer problem as the newre pumps have a "Robust" sender now (means GM fixed it and now you can buy a new one and oh well, outa warranty). The new GMs have a 100k warranty but only powertrain so still lacks real help for all their common failures. It is possible the ground wire is bad pass side engine to firewall but not usually.   The thermostat sender is drivers side between the rear 2 plugs and clips on - may be off.
#87 of 105 hub assembly replacement by unicorn747 May 15, 2007 (5:49 am)
I'M GETTING READY TO REPALCE THE HUB BEARING ASSEMBLY ON MY 2001 GMC JIMMY - SHOULD THE BALL JOINTS OR ANYTHING ELSE REPLACED AT THAT TIME ALSO?? Replies to this message: repairdog (May 16, 2007 2:48 am)

Replying to: unicorn747 (May 15, 2007 5:49 am) Depends on mileage and use, as well as 2wd or 4wd. 2wd should be just hubs unless extreme use, in 150k range, loose, or the wear inducator is showing (grease zerk moves up) 4wds after 60k I'd do the lower ball joints and by 125k both lower and uppers as well as rebuilt CV axles as the boots always seem to rip right after the ball joints are done which required pulling the steering knuckle off (thats the big cast steel assembly) which takes all the time.   Good time to lok at brakes then as all comes off so grease the slides and make sure the pads still slide in the caliper brackets.   So, bottom line is look at the wear, your budget, and mileage and decide if you feel lucky today!

Replying to: whiteink (Aug 10, 2006 7:14 am) I changed the front shocks. I noticed a chafe on the front pass. shock where it was rubbing on something (control arm).I also soaked every bushing, shock mount with silicone spray and greased all fittings.   Quiet as a mouse now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111   http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/WebX/.f0cda57/8
#91 of 105 throttle position sensor-low input by unicorn747 Aug 07, 2007 (8:09 am)
ARE THROTTLE POSITION SENSORS HARD TO REPLACE? COULD THIS ALSO BE CAUSING MY JIMMY TO STALL? WOULD THIS PROBLEM ALSO MAKE MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT TO BE ON? WE'VE TRIED A NEW GAS CAP , BUT THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT GO OFF.
#92 of 105 something loose by dumcrief Aug 13, 2007 (11:39 am)
My 1999 Jimmy has a intermittent loud noise coming from the front passenger seat front lower door, floor area. Pulled the panel off the door, see nothing. It sounds like a loose bolt hanging from a string knocking against the plastic panel. Any help out there ?
#93 of 105 Re: #23 Something loose by dumcrief Aug 16, 2007 (12:17 pm)
Found the source of the noise....The plastic door panel was "crinkling" along the bottom of the passenger door with the movement of the vehicle. Canadian cure, jam a couple of golf tees between the panel and the metal door. Problem solved. Thanks to all.
#95 of 105 2000 Jimmy high pitch squeal by dan_marois Oct 10, 2007 (11:37 am)
Thanks in advance to anyone for help. I have lots of details, i let a brake job go for quite a while was finishing school no cash etc. When i took the rotors and pads off they were the worst ive ever seen rust everywhere. So new rotors and pads, the brakes work great. However 2 problems. When I veer left there is a noise as if something is rubbing on and off almost as if taking a wire bruch and gently sliding it on metal over and over again. This only happens when your moving not if making a direct left turn from a stop. The next problem is that randomly while dricing straight you will hear a high pitch squeal for a second on and off when you touch the breaks very gently while the noise is happening it will go away. I have no ideas again any help is greatly appreciated
